Framed mixed media or print artwork in the manner of a figurative composition

This framed artwork depicts a figurative scene featuring stylized human figures alongside prominent peacock feathers rendered in soft, muted tones of blue, green, and cream. The composition appears to be a print or mixed media work under glass, housed within a textured, ornate gold-toned frame paired with a wide white or light-colored fabric-wrapped matting border. The artwork bears visible handwritten inscriptions near the lower edge, including what reads '138/485' on the left, a title appearing to read 'apassionata III' in the center, and a signature on the right that appears to read 'Benfield'. The owner has provided additional unverified context noting that a Wentworth Gallery label on the verso states 'Benfield Apassionata III 138/485'. However, because physical inspection cannot be performed, all visible markings and user-supplied claims remain unverified and are merely consistent with a limited edition print by the named artist. The visible condition includes minor signs of wear and aging to the frame and matting, but the overall presentation remains intact. Hedged language is used in the identification because photographs cannot verify the authenticity of signatures, editions, or gallery labels without in-person expert authentication.

Based on what I can see in the provided photographs, this framed artwork appears to be a limited edition print or mixed media work featuring stylized figures and peacock feathers, housed in an ornate gold-toned frame with a fabric-wrapped matting border. The work bears handwritten inscriptions near the lower edge, including '138/485', the title 'apassionata III', and a signature that appears to read 'Benfield'. Per user submission, the owner identifies this as bearing a Wentworth Gallery label on the verso stating 'Benfield Apassionata III 138/485'. However, I can't verify from a photo whether the signature, numbering, or gallery label are authentic, and would need physical inspection to confirm the medium and condition. My appraisal estimate assumes the owner's claim and the visible attribution are correct. For a limited edition fine art print of this type by the indicated artist, current secondary market behavior typically supports a range of $600 to $900, depending on the gallery presentation, condition, and overall market demand for contemporary figurative prints. If the piece were to turn out to be a later reproduction, an unauthorized copy, or merely 'in the style of' rather than an authorized limited edition, the value would decrease significantly, likely falling into the $100 to $250 range. To confirm authenticity and solidify the higher estimate, an in-person examination by a qualified fine art expert, provenance documentation, and verification of publisher or gallery records would be required.
